The Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown first torched the Commanders, then another WR drafted before him

St Brown AmonRa St Brown Lions Commanders Dyami Brown NFL

Amon-Ra St. Brown might be one of the NFL’s best young receivers now, but there was a time when it felt like the league didn’t believe in his ability. In the 2021 draft, 16 different receivers — of which St. Brown can recite all from memory — were drafted before the playmaker found a home with the Lions.

After absolutely scorching the Commanders to the tune of a nine-catch, 116-yard, two-touchdown performance on Sunday, St. Brown recalled the performance of one of those fateful receivers drafted ahead of him — unprompted. This time it was Washington’s Dyami Brown, who St. Brown apparently couldn’t even remember playing in the game:

Oh my goodness. I don’t know which part of St. Brown’s quote sticks out to me the most. I’m torn between St. Brown specifically seeing Brown on the other sideline and being motivated by his presence and the Lions’ receiver taking at his Washington contemporary, noting he “didn’t see him in the game much.” (Note: Brown has zero catches and just four offensive snaps through two games for the Commanders.)

The next unfortunate soul on St. Brown’s potential “revenge tour”? Seattle’s D’Wayne Eskridge, who has one catch in six yards through two games of his own sophomore campaign. Detroit will face the Seahawks in Week 4. It’s not an absolute certainty, but rest assured that St. Brown might already be earnestly marking his calendar to outperform his higher-drafted peer.

If you happened to be drafted ahead of the bright Lions’ wideout — watch out. 

NFL fans were astounded by St. Brown's roast of Dyami Brown
